What are custom and silicone insoles?

They are insoles shaped to your own foot and pressure map to lift load off high-pressure spots and cushion bony areas. At EDFC they are prescribed from measurement by Dr. Ashutosh Shah to prevent and heal diabetic foot ulcers.

How are custom insoles different from off-the-shelf ones?

Off-the-shelf insoles cushion everywhere equally, while custom insoles target the specific high-pressure points a diabetic foot needs relieved. This precise offloading protects the danger zones that plain insoles miss.

What are silicone insoles used for?

Silicone cushions and props are soft, mouldable pieces used to relieve specific pressure points or to separate and straighten deformed toes. They are often combined with custom moulded insoles.

Can insoles prevent a foot ulcer?

Yes. Targeted offloading with custom insoles significantly lowers the chance of a first ulcer and of a healed ulcer returning, especially when combined with the right footwear and regular checks.

How long do custom insoles last?

Insoles wear over time and should be reviewed every six to twelve months, or sooner if they compress, your feet change, or a new callus or ulcer appears.

How much do custom insoles cost in India?

Cost depends on the type and complexity of the insoles. EDFC explains all charges before starting. Contact the clinic for an estimate for your needs.

Custom & Silicone Insoles

Insoles moulded to your foot that offload the exact spots where ulcers form, in India.

Custom and silicone insoles for the diabetic foot in India are shaped to your own foot and pressure map to lift load off the exact spots where ulcers form, cushioning bony areas and correcting how weight is spread inside your footwear. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) insoles are prescribed from measurement, guided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.

Why Custom Insoles Matter

An off-the-shelf insole cushions everywhere equally, but a diabetic foot needs load lifted from specific high-pressure points. Custom and silicone insoles do exactly that, targeting the danger zones a pressure map reveals. This precise offloading is a proven way to heal and prevent ulcers.
